Hang on. It still has to be ratified at a special bi-weekly meeting by a simple majority.
(Also, I'm not sure this Thursday [Tomorrow] is notice enough)

Well, I very, very rarely play ranked, so my skill rank is shockingly low, but I'll throw my name in.

Charlie Blue — skill rating 2 (srsly, no typo)
Available: W-F any time after 6:30 PST, pretty much anytime on weekends

Of course, if y'all don't want to team up with someone of such sketchy rank, I'd understand. Just thought it sounded fun.

The more the merrier, Chuckit. It'll be strange to play a game with you after being members here for so long.

I'll be on Thursday, I have no work Friday so I can play all night.

I'm actually getting pretty excited about this. It looks like we might be able to get a good crew.

We'e not concerned about skill per se, I'm just trying to gauge it for divvying up the group for a few friendly Team Slayer games. And one unfriendly one.

Alright, without everyone having weighed in yet, let's consider tomorrows get together informal. 9pm EST (6 PST)
(Also, I added names and times up at the top of the page, for convenience's sake)

On the agenda:
A few free-for-alls to warm up (More if we're having a good time)
A few Team Slayer games (hopefully we balance the teams by the end)
A Legendary Battle on my Sandtrap Variant (Provided we have 6 or more peeps and no one objects outright)
We do the BTB thing, and somebody helps me get a boatload of Wheelmans
We brag and post pictures in this thread the next day

Oh, I created a cheat sheet for everyone.


I think tonight I will go through and friend request those I have neglected thus far. This should allow late-comers to join our games in progress, if need be.

Sounds like way too much fun for me to skip. I don't play Halo 3 much anymore thanks to TF2, but I'll hop on tomorrow night and play. Gamertag is "thejokell".

I have a friend who is a lurker here as well - can he be invited or should we exclude the non posters?

All glory to the hypnotoad.

Cool. If you'd like to provide availability info (like everyone else) for future outings, it'd be much appreciated.

I initially said I was open to guests, in case we had a bad turn out. We have a good turn out here (at least it looks that way), so I'm going to back away from that a little bit and say everyone is invited to bring one guest, mostly with the purpose of helping keep our party size even numbered.

However, if they're too good (I imagine we'll be worrying about sek more), or we have too many people when we go into MM, they will be politely asked to leave first. Does this sound fair to everyone?

You may want to borrow a mic for tomorrow night, fatty. And no need to feel self-conscious as you've heard my pre-pubescent voice. My sarcasm on these forums will never hold same bite for you people ever again.
don't contradict that they have bite smartasses

I feel bad for the first person who sticks me and hears a girly scream.

I apologize in advance for whatever drunken/stoned behavior that may be going on in the background.

I can wrangle a mic from my buddy cheezydog who is at Best Buy right now getting his replacement box so he could join us. It would balance out the scheme of things having two +40s.

That's the spirit, and I was considering that about cheezy. Course, that leaves kb as the lone 30s guy. We'll figure it out.

This thing sounds like it has the potential to be gigantic now.

I know that. But he says he doesn't play ranked, so I'm not gonna make the guy look bad just for that. jokell's in the same boat anyway (He's a 4). I've seen how bad people can be, and if my friends can make 10 Ranked, guaranteed these guys can. Guaranteed.

Cool, everyone but Starman has checked in.

Also, I PMed Chris yesterday. I haven't heard back from him, but with a little luck maybe he'll catch this thread.
(Did dustrho weight in? I'll PM him just in case)
